my car was originally was from Az. then spent most of it's life in Texas... the guy I bought it from brought it up from Texas 6 years ago and he took pretty good care of it... I found it in the Rockford IL . area.. a bit north of there about 4 miles from your border... it needs some work waiting till spring to start on some minor rust removing .. if I see one around the area that looks good I'll let you know.. good luck in your search

looks a little bit like mine.. without the shine

not sure about who owns what.. maybe a stock photo ? and.. NO .. wasn't planning on buying it... how about u ? but nice to see it when visiting here.....

10.00 bucks a pop... someone's making some good $$$ http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6753&item=2449180549

hi Steve... have u looked at this car on this sight ? http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=8376 not a bad a way to get rid of the bumpers...

.. yea.. really somthing about it.. hmmm... but that shade of yellow is great.....

here's a few .. but if u do a web search for Datsun parts... datsun 240z .. I'm sure you will find many more... www.victoriabritish.com www.datsunrestore.com www.datsunzparts.com www.strictlyz.com www.zparts.com am sure I've missed many....

hate to buy sight unseen... do u know anyone in arizona that can take a look at the car for u ? .. wondering what as rustfree as possible means... if I lived closer I'd be interested in it... here is a sight with more on the black pearl 280... http://www.zhome.com/History/BlackP.htm

tonight is the night for the replay of the Z Car show on the History International Channel.... it's on at 11 pm Eastern Time.. http://www.historychannel.com/global/listings/listings.jsp?NetwCode=HCI

ebay's one way we use that now and then too... when the wifes not looking I overwork the trash man with a few extra cans full... she's a PACKRAT.... bikes on the ceiling works good .. but plan on smacking your head on them now and then... :tapemouth

looks like the 1st garage I've seen with nearly as much "STUFF" in it as mine...

thanks Marty... I didn't have to look to hard to find the original color .. darn it's not a black pearl .. no big deal I found some some light blue metallic paint under a door moulding.... and yes.. it will be a enjoyable project .. have started on the surface rust under/around the battery hold and will go from there... thanks for the trans info...

http://hometown.aol.com/ohiozclub/ohioz.html I tried linking from another location and... it was dead there too....

Picked up my car early last night... drove it from the Rockford IL. area to my place about 95 miles ... drove really well... needs some work .. some minor surface rust in a few places but nothing tooooo deadly and a few interior items need to be replaced.. I'll get some pics up beside the ones from the guy that had it listed online... ?? if anyone knows... were 5spds a option in 78 or standard equipment ?

thanks for the info on the next viewing .. have heard about this and would love to see/tape it... thanks again...

check out www.zbarn.com too they sell hatches with glass.. the prices aren't to high

I saw a windshield on ebay earlier today for a 240 .. and try www.zparts.com I think they have a listing for glass also

there is one up on ebay now.. it's got a buy it now for $16.95 it goes off in 5 days or so.... and Amazon has new ones listed for around $14.00....

Hi Larry.... thats sad what big brown did to your car... is that getting repaired ? or being used as a parts car now ? trim wise yes... that looks like the same stuff.. was concerned about some rust in that area with all the groved in the trim but it looked / felt fine... thanks for the info .. Kevin

Hi again Marty... I missed a few ??'s.... miles wise it says 99xxx the guy I bought it from has owned it for 10 years and said he's only but on 1000 miles at most since he bought it... it's a orignal arizona car .. I found it up near the Wisconsin Boarder in IL....

hi all... price wise I'll wait till it's sitting in my garage before I mention it.. this Sunday afternoon.... windy city club wise thanks for the link I'm sure I'll get signed up when my funds get resupplied .. paint wise I do believe it's orignally a black car.. I don't have the paint code from the car here will check that on Sunday.. thanks again for the info
